NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.os.CommandLine.waitFor(J)V with webdriver v2.43.1 and FF v32

[Rikesh]

I am encountering the following error with WebDriver v2.43.1 and Firefox v32.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.os.CommandLine.waitFor(J)V

at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxBinary.waitFor(FirefoxBinary.java:222)

at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxBinary.clean(FirefoxBinary.java:242)

at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.internal.NewProfileExtensionConnection.start(NewProfileExtensionConnection.java:91)

at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.startClient(FirefoxDriver.java:246)

at org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.<init>(RemoteWebDriver.java:114)

at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.<init>(FirefoxDriver.java:191)

at org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver.<init>(FirefoxDriver.java:186)

I am not sure why as I have examined the source for CommandLine in the selenium-remote-driver jar and such a method appears to exist. Any ideas?

You are perhaps having a mixup of CLASSPATH. Your classpath seems to be having more than one versions of the CommandLine class and perhaps an older version of this class is being resolved ahead of the newer version.

How are you managing your classpath ? Is it via Maven or is it via Ant ?

Thanks & Regards

It is via Maven.

What I am noticing when I update the version number for selenium-server in my POM is that in my .m2 folder no jars are being downloaded for selenium-remote-driver and selenium-api.  I have not previously seen this problem even when updating to v2.42.2.

I had the same problem, it seems that the transitive dependency setup is somehow not correct when only using the dependency to selenium-java. Also adding the dependencies to selenium-remote-driver and selenium-api was my solution.

[Pieter Develtere]

Have the same problem. No idea how to fix it...

Can you please share how does your <dependency> tag look like ? [ assuming you are using Maven

Just doing a Maven 'mvn clean' after updating the selenium-java dependency version solved this problem for me. My build folder was retaining the older dependencies which were getting picked up by the class loader in preference to the new ones.

[Krishnan Mahadevan]

That's weird. mvn clean is supposed to delete off your build folder [ target folder to be precise ] wherein only your scripted java classes' .class files are found. I dont think it will have any effect on the CLASSPATH [ which is from where maven resolves your referenced jars via your dependencies entry ]

Yes, it did delete my target folder, which is where the old libs were being retained and packaged into my war. That said, I am running the test suite out of the target folder in a somewhat peculiar manual fashion (after 'maven install') which might have been impacting things also.

Use this set of dependencies. After this try to 

1) maven clean

2) Right click project folder -> Update Dependencies
